I remember seeing the sketches for it, and hearing about Disney's plans for it years back. Around the time that the Tracy movie came out, a showing of "Swiss Family Robinson" aired on the wonderful world of Disney. I bugged my mom to tape the movie, and Eisner hosted it.

While I was never very eager for an attraction based on Dick Tracy, I would have loved to see a period-specific ride like this at MGM.

However, there was a problem besides box office. This ride was essentially a combiantion of two technologies - the enhanced motion vehicles of Indiana Jones Adventure together with the interactive guns of Buzz Lightyear.
